Adler 541

Hello there,

a friend of mine offered this machine to me. It's old, but still in a relatively good condition. Wondering if other folks use this machine for leatherworking.

Thanks,

Marko

It all depends on what you plan to sew with it but the Adler 541 is a post bed machine that I think would be more for glove making, upholstery weight sewing,  installing patches on coats or other hard to reach areas. I have seen a post bed turned into a flat bed with a home made table top to have more versatilely.

I am actually looking for a post bed sewing machine, but with a wheel foot, like Pfaff 491. Converting regular foot on Adler 541 into a wheel foot might not be possible, due to the position of the feeding dog. Trying to  figure out if I might have use for Adler 541,, or if I should sell it and get Pfaff 491.

Thanks,

Marko
